We are all children of God, each with our own unique gifts and potential. We provide an environment rooted in respect and Christian values, where every individual can flourish.

We strongly believe that children learn best when we work together at home and school, we know that working together to support, encourage and guide your child will ensure their successful journey through education. Ofsted (September 2010) noted, ‘A significant strength in the school’s provision is the way it helps pupils to become thoughtful and responsible young people. Their social skills are well-developed. Consequently, they play and work well together…’

We are very proud of our school. We strive to create an environment which stimulates interest and motivates children to learn and succeed, but most of all ensures children are happy and cared for within a Christian Ethos. We respect every member of our school community as an individual and hope that throughout their time with us your child will be given tasks that match their ability whilst also challenge, excite and reward them so that they have the skills and confidence to be life long learners.

If you should have any questions I would be delighted to discuss them with you and to show you around.
